1 Lasers in Dentistry: Special Interest Group, ADEA Annual Report 2013 ADEA SIG Name: Lasers in Dentistry (LiD) Mission: The primary mission of ADEA LiD SIG is to promote the use of laser and light devices in dental clinics via research and educational initiatives Goals: 1. Collect, collate and present the current state of the art information for LiD. 2. Develop curricular guidelines for the safe and effective LiD education. 3. Promote interdisciplinary learning and research for LiD across dental clinical specialties. Submitted by: Praveen R Arany BDS, MDS, MMSc, PhD Chair-Elect, LiD SIG address for questions: praveen.arany@nih.gov ADEA SIG Activities 1. Annual meeting activities Working Group conference call minutes 3. Survey on current status of Lasers in Dentistry 4. Annual meeting program proposal Future developments 1. Annual meeting activities 2013 The LiD SIG had a scientific session at the 2013 annual meeting Mar16-19, Seattle entitled Future of safe laser use across the landscape of learning which was well attended (about 45 people). There were two speakers who spoke about the distinct hard tissue and soft tissue applications of lasers and elaborated on past and current developments including recent research findings. This was followed by a lively discussion with the audience on the safety and practical aspects of laser use in clinical dentistry both in routine clinical practices and in educational settings. Particular topics of interest were the application of established safety regulations in the educational setting such as university pre-doctoral programs and a few practical as well as ideal solutions were discussed. The following day, a members and working group meeting was held. The agenda for this meeting was as follows. 1. Introduction to Laser in Dentistry ADEA SIG 2. Future action items Survey Resources Newsletter, webpage? ADEA Section bid 2014? 3. Election of Officers 4. Open panel for suggestions/brainstorming 1
2 We discussed the current use of lasers in dentistry, the educational curriculum and modes of imparting instructions, possible future initiatives the SIG can take and choosing members who would actively contribute to this cause in the working group. The three major conclusions drawn from this meeting were: a) decision to send out a survey to ADEA members to assess current state of LiD, b) the need to organize regional meetings to develop consensus on LiD teaching curriculum, and c) submission of an annual program to outline guidelines and recommendations for attendees on LiD curriculum and continue these activities by expanding the roles and scope of our SIG to move to a section. Members were nominated and elected to the following positions 1. Councilor: D. Stanley Sharples DDS, Clinical Assistant Professor, College of Dentistry, The Ohio State University was chosen as the councilor 2. Chair: Peter Rechmann DMD, PhD, Prof. Dr. med. dent., Professor Division of Prosthodontics, Director Clinical Sciences Research Group, Department of Preventive and Restorative Dental Sciences, School of Dentistry, University of California San Francisco 3. Chair-Elect: Praveen R Arany BDS, MDS, MMSc, PhD, Assistant Clinical Investigator, Chief, Cell Regulation and Control Unit, Oral and Pharyngeal Cancer Branch, National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda 4. Secretary: Brad Smith, DDS,CS, Associate Dean for Preclinical Sciences, College of Dental Medicine, Midwestern University, Arizona 5. Advisory Group: Donald Patthoff DDS, Private Practice, Martinsburg, WV Kimberly Patterson DDS MS, College of Dental Medicine, Midwestern University, Arizona Kiki Dounis DDS, Veterans Health Center, Las Vegas Thomas J. Dwork DDS, Director Cosmetic Dentistry, College of Dental Medicine, Nova Southeastern University, Florida. Gail Simnovsky, Executive Director, Academy of Laser Dentistry 2. Working Group conference call minutes Date: May 22, :00 PM PST Members present: Drs. Sharples, Arany, Smith, Patthoff and Ms.Simnovsky Agenda: i. Survey ii. Annual Program iii. Regional meetings i. Survey Comments We discussed who would have access to ADEA members list to send out this survey. Ms.Simnovsky pointed out that the statistics on the LiD SIG membership and attendees were not clear. One possibility of tracking attendees was to figure out if continuing education credits were provided from ADEA where the members would register. This was not clear from the attendees on the call. 2
3 We inquired if a newsletter would be beneficial at this time but Dr. Sharples pointed out the best time would be early next year building up to the annual meeting in spring. Dr. Arany suggested that as a core part of this communication we should carry out the survey that was discussed at Seattle. The content and design of the survey was then discussed with many useful suggestions from the group. An open dialog box to further non-specified content was included. It was noted that it would be nice to know everyone who is teaching and interested in lasers at the dental schools. Dr. Pathoff inquired if we could send this survey to the dental school Dean s, Academic Dean s List, Department Chairs, Clinic Dean s via the ADEA listservs? Drs. Arany and Smith were to follow up with ADEA coordinator, Ms. Monique Morgan and other contacts to inquire about this possibility. Ms. Simnovsky was willing to send the survey to Academy of Laser Dentistry members as well. Dr. Pathoff asked Dr. Sharples what the response time and rate from sending a survey to dental school previously was. Dr. Sharples indicated that in his last section the survey was sent out to dental schools and received a moderate response rate within a reasonable timeframe which was considered a successful survey. It was hoped that the LiD survey would be able to achieve these minimal criteria. ii. Annual Program 2014 It was decided that the group/chair would submit a program proposal focusing on developing LiD clinical instructional curriculum. Dr. Pathoff volunteered to start a document and the group agreed to provide inputs and suggestions prior to its submission. This was successfully accomplished as evident from the section below in this report. iii. Regional Meetings. The group agreed meeting only annually would not help with developing the LiD interests actively and therefore, regional meetings prior to the annual meeting would help towards curriculum development and organizational infrastructural development. Two meetings were tentatively proposed, an East meeting in fall 2013 at Morgantown, WV and a West meeting at Arizona possibly to coincide with the Academy of Laser Dentistry meeting scheduled for Spring Dr. Arany pointed out that having these regional meeting would be immensely helpful in organizing the group as well as a feather in cap for our section bid in Dr. Rechmann has started the negotiations with the current ALD president, Dr. Glenda Payas. In terms of a section bid, the group inquired about the membership of the LiD SIG over the years and its current status. Ms. Simnovsky indicated that the LiD SIG listserv had 415 people (2010) and Dr. Pathoff noted that there was a business meeting only in 2011 annual ADEA meeting that was attended by about 50 members. There was no program or session at the 2012 annual meeting while the 2013 meeting had about 45 people in attendance at the scientific session while about 12 people attended the SIG business meeting. The meeting ended with Dr. Arany to send his meeting notes to Dr. Smith who would compile and send to the working group. It was agreed that the group would contribute and submit an annual program and an annual report as per the deadlines. End of Meeting 2:50PM PST 3
4 3. Survey on current status of Lasers in Dentistry It is sorely felt that for this interest group to move forward and contribute most effectively, a survey of the current status of the use and education of lasers in dentistry is necessary. Hence, with consultations from experienced ADEA members and discussion among the working group, a brief survey was designed and the link was provided to all working group members to send to their contacts. Further, it was agreed that various means of survey link distributions such as ADEA listservs, individual dental school contacts, and NIDCR lists would be explored. Dr. Arany designed the survey and provided the group with the link for suggestions. The group provided insightful comments that were incorporated into the eventual design and the final survey link is poised to be sent out to various distribution lists. The NIDCR distribution links were not feasible and the ADEA and other personal lists are currently being explored to send this survey to the dental schools to gauge the level of interest in LiD. 4. Annual Meeting Program proposal 2014 An annual meeting program proposal for the 2014 Annual meeting on March 15-18, 2014 at San Antonio, Texas was submitted. A 90 minute Symposium session is proposed with emphasis on Lasers in Dentistry curricular development. Event Location: San Antonio Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, San Antonio, Texas Proposal Title: The Science of Learning Lasers in Dentistry: Effective methods for presenting scientific and technical information needed for clinical applications of lasers in dentistry. Abstract: A core set of foundational knowledge and skills is essential for the safe, effective, efficient, and ethical use of lasers in dentistry. This session will demonstrate an effective approach to presenting the growing technical information that supports a few common uses of lasers in dentistry. The audience s critical thinking skills will be engaged to enhance and model the collaboration of the multiple disciplines needed to help educators prepare future dental graduates to meet the learning challenges of changing technology. Along these lines, the Lasers in Dentistry Special Interest Group is partnering with the Biochemistry, Nutrition, and Microbiology, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery/Anesthesia/ Hospital Dentistry, Oral Biology, Cariology, and the Radiology Sections to develop this information session focusing on the learning material and format to prepare students with a basic foundational knowledge for the use of lasers in their future dental practices. Though lasers and light technology are used in multiple ways in current dental practice, this session will focus on the uses of lasers and their applications in cariology, periodontology, pediatric dentistry, orthodontics, oral surgery and operative dentistry while introducing the audience to newer therapeutic applications. Highlights: Student experiences in learning laser technology Teaching fundamentals of Lasers in Dentistry Laser applications in Operative & Pediatric Dentistry 4
5 Laser applications in Cariology Laser applications in Periodontology Lasers in Orthodontics Recent research in newer applications Full Description: A growing number of institutions are introducing their faculty and students to a variety of laser uses in dentistry. Qualified faculty available to translate this highly complex technology into practical and efficient clinical use is growing but still limited. Expertise is diversified across disciplines, (not all within dentistry) making multi-discipline collaboration the norm for exploring, developing and establishing its foundational concepts. A full range of basic foundational knowledge, concept information, technology, and effective clinical landscapes are needed to help students learn and develop necessary skills for the broad uses of light and lasers in dentistry. Exposure to new concepts is essential to increase training opportunities so all innovations are adopted within the curricula, instruction, and assessment of biomedical sciences, and applied beneficially in clinical settings. This session builds on the models developed and used by both new and established educators of lasers in dentistry. This program begins with current student experiences in learning laser technology followed by an introduction on the basic foundation for the use of lasers in dentistry and then presentations focused on applications in individual specialties on the therapeutic and preventive uses of lasers in dentistry. Finally, we will have an interactive audience session specifically involving the representatives of the co-sponsoring sections to engage and explore specific examples currently being explored within established schools. Learning Objectives: The learner will know how to use and modify a take-home basic laser education module The learner will be able to identify and incorporate current pedagogical ways to inspire and motivate dental students as learners and future professionals in the use of lasers in dentistry The learner will be able to identify and incorporate potential solutions to enhance and engage inter-professional teaching and assessment methods The learner will be able to apply relevant learning and positive self-assessment findings to home-institutional curricula regarding the safe, effective, efficient, and ethical uses of lasers. Authors & Presenters: Peter Rechmann, University of California San Francisco Praveen Arany, NIH/NIDCR, Bethesda Don Patthoff, Private Practice, Martinsburg. Target Audience: Emerging and Experienced Educators Learning Focus: Teaching, Learning, and Curriculum Development 5. Future developments: Collaborative efforts with other LiD groups Newsletter, Website and list Regional Meetings 5
6 Bid for a section Collaborative efforts with other LiD groups As a major part of our outreach to LiD educators and students, the survey will hopefully establish a basic demographic infrastructure to increase participation from various schools and associations. The Academy of Lasers in Dentistry is the major group that provides key information for the safe and effective use of LiD. As most members of the ADEA LiD SIG are also directly involved with ALD, a formal collaborative arrangement is being pursued for the educational activities that would be mutually beneficial. Along these lines, Dr. Pathoff presented an update of the LID-SIG activities to the Board of the Academy of Laser Dentistry in Nashville June 29, The board agreed to continue supporting the development of this Interest group within ADEA and encouraged future collaborations with ADEA through its University Relations Committee. Coordinating ALD interim educational meetings with ADEA meetings was offered as a practical way to help Dental School Faculty participate in Laser Education development given their limited time and allowances for dental organizational meetings. Newsletter, Website and list As we become more organized, a major focus will be creating an interactive and wellconnected forum that promotes exchange of ideas and resources. A major initiative will be to create and actively distribute a newsletter in spring 2014 to promote active participation in the LiD and ADEA activities at the annual meeting. It is hoped that given an active interest and participating by members, we will have at least a quarterly or semi-annual newsletter publication to all interested members. Further, the materials being developed for the annual meeting and other activities will be made available via a LiD webpage in the future. The ADEA LiD SIG listserv already exists and this will be actively advertised as a general forum for exchange of information and ideas to promote interactions in the forum. Regional Meetings The two regional meetings tentatively proposed in our conference call were pursued by Drs. Arany, Pathoff and Smith along with Ms. Simnovsky. Possible avenues and the scope of these meetings were discussed and Dr. Rechmann pointed out that organizing these meetings given our short timeline, as well as the annual meeting commitments, was going to be difficult. We decided to pursue a small meeting at the School of Dentistry, Morgantown, West Virginia and interest in hosting such a meeting was ascertained with Dr. Harold Reed, Department of Periodontics, School of Dentistry, West Virginal University. We plan to tentatively proceed with a tentative fall meeting, inviting key educators and collaborators of LiD and this East meeting is aimed at further developing current educational practices and curriculum development for the annual meeting program where these findings will be collated. A similar West meeting of LiD educators is tentatively planned at the School of Dentistry, Midwestern University, AZ potentially coinciding with the Academy of Laser Dentistry meeting, Feb 27-Mar1, 2014 at Scottsdale AZ. If possible the meeting will be held at the ALD meeting site to easily include attending educators form that organization and give other educators a wide perspective into the non-profit side of laser organization. 6
7 Bid for a LiD section The LiD SIG has become more organized since its first inception in 2006 but has met infrequently due to a lack of supportive infrastructure and sustained organizational leadership. The institution of a formal working and advisory group at the annual meeting in 2013 was considered the first step towards moving in the direction of a better organized group. While practical, clinical information is currently being imparted largely by the laser-light equipment manufacturers, these were considered to be largely biased to individual devices. Further, organizations like the Academy of Laser Dentistry have pioneered a commercially-unbiased, information based clinical training. A large void appears to be the educational space for the dental school curriculum that the ADEA LiD SIG could contribute to. Collaborations with ALD and other laser organizations are being actively pursued. With the advent of the universal health care act, medicine and dentistry are strongly reinforcing looking at the safest and most effective as well as economically feasible therapies. The use of lasers and light devices in dentistry are powerful tools in the clinical armamentarium with a broad range of applications for hard and soft tissue. Hence, it was felt that given the current SIF status of LiD, it is uniquely poised across traditional clinical specialties as an interdisciplinary, broad forum that could make significant contributions to the field. It was felt that we could be better organized with enhanced resources to provide a more effective dental educators forum as an ADEA section. Given the growing interest and membership, it was felt that a critical mass has been reached to pursue this initiative. With the support from other ADEA sections (Comprehensive Care and General Dentistr and Cariology) and SIGs, we will attempt to pursue this initiative with the ADEA council for LiD SIG Membership and Attendance Current membership As per the latest ADEA membership survey provided to our SIG, we have 268 current members (50% being student members) indicating the strong interest and enthusiasm to learn about this innovative technology. Further, the membership from educators across various dental specialties further adds to the interdisciplinary nature of this forum necessitating a stronger collaborative effort as we move this field towards the mainstream of clinical care. While our records indicate there were over 415 subscribers in 2010 for the LiD SIG listserv, there are currently 193 active members. We hope with the increase in current SIG activities and available new resources, we will be able to increase membership among students and dental educators with interested in LiD. Attendance at 2013 ADEA LiD SIG sessions The 2013 meeting had about 45 people in attendance at the scientific session and about 12 people attended the SIG business meeting the following day. The presenters from the scientific session received good feedback from the audience in attendance as evident from the speaker rating reports. 7
